In June 2015, McInnes referred to the traditional [[Southern]] libertarian arguments popularized in the [[Ken Burns]]' [[PBS]] documentary ''The Civil War'' and by historian [[Shelby Foote]] when discussing the [[Confederate States of America]], which claimed the CSA seceded from the [[United States]] due to Northern aggression. These sources did not emphasize that the Confederate Constitution declared that the purpose of secession was to preserve the institution of [[slavery]] (see [[Confederate States Constitution]]). He apparently echoed the PBS documentary narrative because, according to Shelby Foote, the [[American Civil War]] was about [[states' rights]], and [[Abraham Lincoln]] was a "[[racist]]."<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbvDRY0O30E</ref> These are all seriously flawed arguments.<ref>http://cwmemory.com/2017/08/08/shelby-footes-flawed-understanding-of-slavery-and-the-civil-war/</ref>

In October 2020, McInnes announced he is suing [[Joe Biden]], [[CNN]] and "reporters who call this multiracial, patriotic group [the Proud Boys] white supremacists and Nazis."<ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/10/proud-boys-founder-announces-suing-biden-cnn-reporters-call-multiracial-patriotic-group-white-supremacists-nazis/</ref>
